Tree decorating isn’t something to be taken lightly. The tradition not only brings families together but also serves as a sort of time capsule, with ornaments collected from years past uncovering treasured memories from first Christmases to marriages to simple get-togethers. To inspire your growing collection, we rounded up some of our favorite ornaments from local sources. Read on for a full list of our picks:

One of our favorite traditions when we were kids was getting to pick out a new ornament at the store each year. We know we would’ve gone straight to this hot pink unicorn. Honestly, we probably would’ve begged for the matching tree, as well, because what’s one without the other.

Cool and classic, these metallic baubles will never go out of style. We’ll be snagging one of each and maybe a few doves for a pop of color.

While these aren’t the Golden Girls we’re used to talking about in South Louisiana, we’re pretty keen on them, too. We’ll be adding these familiar faces to mix up the more traditional ornaments in our collections.
